Iggy and the Stooges – Ready To Die (2013)

Apr 29, 10:32am Something Else! Reviews

Still sizzling with unbound fury, Iggy Pop and the Stooges rejoin their white-knuckle search for meaning, though what they find isn't any prettier 40 years later. Hell, at times, it's just as terrifying. Surviving will do that. There's a concurrent perspective, sure, but there's also a kind of resentment creeping into Ready to Die, a different kind of danger - [...]

Apr 18, 1:41pm noiselab

El próximo 30 de abril saldrá a la venta Ready To Die , el nuevo álbum de Iggy and The Stooges que fue producido por el guitarrista James Williamson . Y para anunciar este lanzamiento, Iggy protagoniza un video donde contrasta los clásicos problemas con los sellos discográficos. Primero, lo vemos rodeado de lujos quejándose de una carencia en su libertad creativa a consecuencia de firmar con una disquera major ; aunque después lo vemos un tanto arrepentido de haber firmado con un sello indie [...]

Caveman: April 10, 2013 Webster Hall – Flac/MP3/Streaming

Apr 15, 12:24am nyctaper

[photo courtesy of Will Oliver of We All Want Someone to Shout For ] Caveman has come a long way very quickly since we first saw them 18 months ago as an opening band at Cameo Gallery. At that show, opening for fellow quick-climbers The War On Drugs, it was fairly obvious that Caveman would be going places. A couple of months later they were playing larger gigs, and when their debut CoCo Beware was picked up by Fat Possum Records , the band went national. This [...]

Youth Lagoon: Wondrous Bughouse

Mar 17, 2:04pm Violent Success

Youth Lagoon: Wondrous Bughouse - So here’s something weird. It’s called Wondrous Bughouse , and it’s the second album from Trevor Powers’ Boise, Idaho-based one-man-band Youth Lagoon . And it’s also totally bizarre in all the best possible ways. I don’t call things “weird” lightly, mind you. “Weird” is, to me, a badge of honor, a sign that the perpetrator of said weirdness is something unusual and different, something special, and Youth Lagoon has earned it. For something so experimental, Wondrous Bughouse is a surprisingly accessible album – it only takes [...]

Youth Lagoon - Mute

Youth Lagoon - Mute Here’s the second single from Wondrous Bughouse LP. It’s probably dangerous of me to convince myself that this album is already my favorite of the year without hearing the rest of the tracks, but man am I tempted to make such wild proclamations, even in February.

Feb 1, 1:33pm SURFING ON STEAM

Is it me or does the full-length by MEC just sound better and more lush as each month passes by? Melody’s Echo Chamber have a “new” track called “ Je Me Perds de Vue”, which according to their label Weird World Recordings is, “ a track that originally appeared reversed and warped on Prochet’s debut as the spiraling and transportive instrumental ‘IsThatWhatYouSaid. Now restored to its former glory .”   “Je Me Perds de Vue” is the B-side to digital single “Crystalized”, available [...]

Christopher Owens: Lysandre’s Theme / Here We Go

Jan 14, 12:00pm Fensepost

I think Christopher Owens ' departure from Girls caught everyone a bit off guard. The band had enjoyed substantial hype over the past few years, and the music they continued to put out kept increasing in quality. But even with that departure, it seemed inevitable that we would hear from Owens again soon. You can't create so many heartfelt, personal songs in such a short period of time and just cut away that element of your life. Sure enough, his new solo album, Lysandre , will be released January [...]

New Reverb Rock From Water Liars

Jan 8, 1:54pm Austin Town Hall

I'm glad that the new year is finally upon us because it means that the quality new tracks start to roll in one after the other.  This new jam "Fake Heat" from Water Liars  is one of the many new tunes we ATH kids are enjoying as of late.  It's a reverb laden slow rock number that's reminiscent of Band of Horses, Will Johnson, or even our very own locals Black Books .  Stick around till the end of the song when duo members Justin Kinkel-Schuster and Andrew Bryant team up for an incredible two part vocal harmony.

Listen: The Walkmen – Dance With Your Partner and Vermeer ’65

Oct 6, 2012, 9:30pm Listen Before You Buy

The Walkmen have released two songs this week including " Dance With Your Partner " and " Vermeer '65 ". The songs follow in traditional  Walkmen fashion with calculated and tranquil folk melodies that are pleasing to any ear. Hamilton's voice croons in the way he knows best, and the songs do not disappoint. " Vermeer '65 " is a classic  Heaven   track; " Dance With Your Partner " is a bit more calm and lullaby-esque, but picks up as most Walkmen  tracks typically do. The variation [...]

Melody’s Echo Chamber: I Follow You (Video)

Oct 3, 2012, 9:00am Fensepost

You could call Melody's Echo Chamber the mash-up of Melody Prochet's My Bee's Garden and Tame Impala, because, in essence, it is. Pitchfork noted that Prochet approached TI's Kevin Parker after a show and (blah blah blah) ultimately Melody's Echo Chamber was born. "I Follow You" is the opening track off her self-titled debut album under the Melody's Echo Chamber moniker. It blends sonic psychedelic fuzz with superb production and dreamy songwriting. And the video accompanying the song fits the genre: bright colors filtered through water, overlapping footage [...]
